Gresham Sanitary Service and you
OK – you put your garbage and recycling bins out every week, making sure you are within the 12-hour window as required by our GST CC&Rs. So, why did you get one of those Gresham Sanitary Service (GSS) “friendly blue reminders”?
First, a little background:
When GST was built, we were the first (and so far, only) development in the city of Gresham without direct street access to each unit and without a central garbage and recycling location. That meant GSS had to work with the city to develop the rates we would be charged. These rates are based on the amount of time it takes the GSS worker to carry each of our bins down our alley and dump the contents of each bin into either the garbage or recycling truck. Since the GSS worker has to work with each of our bins individually, GSS isn’t eager to empty bins with limited content. (It takes just as much time and effort to roll a nearly empty bin to the truck as it does to roll a full one.)
So in order to minimize GSS’s labor (and therefore our garbage and recycling rates), GSS would like us to put our recycling bins out only when they are at least half full. That’s why you might have gotten a “friendly reminder” from GSS. By the way, if you don’t have a full bin of garbage and the weather is such that keeping your garbage bin in the garage an extra week doesn’t create a nuisance for you, you might consider putting your garbage bin out every other week, too. This will help GSS keep our rates lower, since our rate is specifically based on the amount of time it takes to deal with our bins.
